Subject: Problem: Perl with connections using LWP Module
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 15:44:08 +0200
Message-ID: <20040715_134408_049695.dirk.fokken@cross-development.de>

In an attempt to run a perl based web-application on Windows using Cygwin with Apache, I experience difficulties requesting content using the LWP module.

The overall installation of Cygwin and the additional modules seems to be fine, since the call of the specific cgi-script from the command line works. 

Calling the cgi-script from within the browser I receive the following message:

"Can't connect to www.crossdesktop.de:80 (Bad protocol 'tcp')"

In my opinion, the difference between a call from the command line and a call by the browser may be the uid:gid being set differently. Therefore, I suppose a rights problem to appear here. 

In order to make sure user and group are set equally, in apache's httpd.conf I set user and group to the user and group I am in interactive mode. Unfortunately, the problem remains.

As principally, the whole system environment seems to be setup working, I come to ask this question in the round.

Can someone help? Does someone have a similar experience?

Many thanks,

Dirk
